  • Stock markets edged higher and sovereign bond yields fell modestly in the US and the euro area as investors slightly increased their risk apetite ahead central bank decisions from the ECB and the BOJ, US 4Q GDP and PCE deflator later this week, as well as further earings reports in the US market.
  • The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq indices reached new record highs for a second straight day, and in the euro area the Ibex 35 outperformed its regional peers boosted by bank stocks. Elsewhere, oil prices rose following a Ukranian drone strike close to a large Russian fuel terminal.
  • Today, the BOJ maintained its short-term rate at -0.1%, as expected, and did not annouce any changes to its yield curve control program. Follwing the annoucement, moves in the Japanese stock market and the yen have been modest. Today, euro area consumer confidence data will be released.
